Drawing - Learnaroo Hub | Educational Resources

A three-page introduction to the three art-making techniques named in the KS1 NC: drawing, painting and sculpture. Each page is a structured try-it-yourself project the child can do at home or in class.

Page 1 builds drawing vocabulary (thick, thin, curly, zigzag lines) through a “draw five different lines” exercise. Page 2 introduces colour mixing — the three primary colours making three secondary colours. Page 3 is a hands-on sculpture challenge using only kitchen items (foil, pasta, paper). The worksheet is the START of the activity, not the activity itself.

A 7-slide tour of art-making and three real, famous artists whose work and techniques are commonly studied in KS1: Vincent van Gogh (sunflowers and swirly skies), Sonia Boyce (collage and mixed media, a British Royal Academy artist), and Wassily Kandinsky (colourful circles and shapes).

The pack does NOT reproduce the artists’ actual artworks — children are encouraged to look them up with a grown-up (in books or on age-appropriate art-museum websites) and then make their OWN art inspired by the techniques. This is how primary art is taught everywhere and keeps the pack copyright-safe.

A ten-question quiz testing the art language of NC requirement Ar1/1.3 plus knowledge of the three named artists (Van Gogh, Sonia Boyce, Kandinsky) from requirement Ar1/1.4.

Best taken after the e-learning lesson and worksheet. Half the questions test vocabulary; half test artist knowledge — including child-friendly trivia like “who painted the sunflowers?”

My First Sketchbook is a five-page Years 1–2 art activity book mapped to the DfE National Curriculum for Art & Design. Children explore line and mark-making, mix primary colours to create new ones, turn flat shapes into solid sculptural forms, build a textured sculpture from playdough or junk modelling, and evaluate their own finished work like a real artist. A handful of quick art-vocabulary questions are auto-marked on screen; the rest of the book is hands-on, creative and printable, with a full answer key. Includes teacher, parent and pupil notes and is fully SEND-friendly with high-contrast and large-text modes.

A short guide for parents and carers. KS1 Art is overwhelmingly about confidence, not skill — and the messages a child hears at home about their own art matter more than any worksheet.

Four practical ideas: how to comment on art without judging, the no-equipment art bank, the “look it up together” trick for artist study, and (most importantly) why “I can’t draw” is the most damaging thing a parent can ever say.
